We do our best to eat as healthy as we can, but every once and a while we enjoy a treat day and savor some off-the-good-list ingredients, like butter. We had a treat day recently and decided to make some hand-made samosas that call for butter, flour and a fry. They knocked our socks off! Enjoy our carrot and bean samosa recipe below!

The Lills Food Carrot Bean Samosas

Carrot and Bean Samosas Recipe:

Melt the butter, set it aside and let it cool

Mix flour and melted butter together until crumbly

Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time (2-3 total) until it becomes dough-like

Knead the dough until firm and cover with a moist towel for 30-45 minutes

Dice the carrots and boil them in a shallow pan of water (just enough to cover the carrots) and let simmer

Add 1 teaspoon butter, sea salt, pepper and diced shallots

Keep on medium/high heat, add honey and let it reduce

In another pot, heat your white beans and strain them

Mix the cooked carrots, shallots and white beans together

Take the rested dough and use a rolling pin to flatten it evenly

Cut circles out of the flattened dough with a small jar to make pockets

Fill the pockets with the carrot, shallot and bean mix

Fold and brush the edges lightly with water and pinch to seal

Fry lightly (in butter or olive oil), remove and let cool

Fry lightly again (the second fry is key), remove and let cool

Pair with a cool dip and enjoy!

Dough Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup flour
2-3 tablespoons water

Filling Ingredients:

1 teaspoon butter
2 carrots
1/2 a shallot
2 teaspoons local honey
1/2 cup white beans
Sea salt and pepper to taste
